Performance Fuel Filter

I am due to change my fuel filter, and am wondering if anyone out there would make a reccomendation as to a fuel filter that has been working well for them. Are there any "less restrictive" or "high flow" fuel filters that you would use? I understand that because of fuel pressure and injector timing and width that only a certain amount of fuel will ever get through, but I don't want to create a bottleneck at the filter level.

TIA

The stock fuel filter works fine. I have seen many after market filters especially the see through type crack and leak. I would go with the subaru genuine part.

I am using the AEM fuel filter. You will need to get a nice Earl's banjo bolt and fitting and male-male adapter for the bottom and a fitting that can be used with a rubber Earls' hose. Works great.
